• Store any leftovers in a container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave. This recipe can be frozen.

Here's how to make it:

1. Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well and return to pot.
2. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add the cream cheese, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, sour cream and egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth.
